MTI Acquires Rights to Tony-Nominated Groundhog Day!
MTI Acquires Rights to Tony-Nominated Groundhog Day!
We are pleased to announce that Music Theatre International has acquired the rights to the Tony-nominated musical Groundhog Day. Like the classic movie it was adapted from, Groundhog Day will keep you grinning and laughing time and time again.
Critically acclaimed on both the West End and Broadway, Groundhog Day revels in one man's journey of self-discovery, day after day. Inspired by the hilarious film starring Bill Murray, Groundhog Day features a book by original co-screenwriter Dan Rubin, and music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Tim Minchin (Matilda the Musical).
How would you spend your time if forced to repeat the same day over and over again? Phil Connors, a seasoned big-city weatherman, is frustrated to be reporting the annual Groundhog Day Ceremony in small town Punxsutawney, PA. His arrogance and cynicism are in direct opposition to the cheery townsfolk, who are ready for their favorite Groundhog to not see his shadow and welcome an early spring. After disdainfully covering the rodent's negative forecast, he awakens the next day only to discover it's February 2 once more. Initially in disbelief, Phil finally accepts he is doomed to repeat the same day over and over again...until he learns a lesson about life and love.
